Item Description

Detailed Analysis of Scott #634

Design
Scott #634 features the profile of George Washington in red, with the denomination "2 CENTS" at the bottom and "UNITED STATES POSTAGE" at the top. The design is bordered with a frame that includes ornamental detailing.

Soundness (Grade: Fault)
Observations:
The stamp has a light crease which affects its soundness grade.
The back of the stamp has a handwritten number "634," which detracts from its overall condition.
The perforations cut into the design, resulting in some loss of the design elements.

Centering (Grade: Good)
Observations:
The stamp is poorly centered, with the perforations cutting into the design on one or more sides.
There is minimal white space between the frameline and the perforations.

Perforations
Observations:
The perforations are uneven, with some cutting into the design.
The condition of the perforations is consistent with the general wear of the stamp.

Eye Appeal (Grade: Neat/Clean Cancel)
Observations:
The cancel is neat and does not heavily obscure the design.
The color of the stamp appears typical for its age.

Final Numerical Grade
Calculation: Based on the guidelines:
Good Centering + Fault Soundness = Fair (10-19)

Considering the neat cancel and the overall presentation, the numerical grade is in the range of Fair.
Final Grade: 15

Summary
This used Scott #634 stamp has seen significant wear and shows a neat cancel. Its perforations cut into the design, and there are visible signs of aging and handling. The numerical grade for this stamp, considering its centering, soundness, and eye appeal, is 15.
